Abstract: A coated article for use in spandrel applications and/or the like is provided. In certain example embodiments, a coating is provided to have a coating design which permits the coating to realize more predictable and/or consistent optical characteristics such as glass side reflectance, color and/or the like. Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to a method of making a coated article for spandrel applications or the like. In certain embodiments, a powder inclusive lacquer coating is used as an overcoat.

Abstract: A coating method for the internal coating of a hollow body which includes producing a plasma jet from a working gas, supplying at least one precursor material to the working gas and/or to the plasma jet, introducing the plasma jet through a first opening into an interior of the hollow body and depositing at least one reaction product of at least one precursor on an inner surface of the hollow body and/or on at least one layer arranged on the inner surface. The method is carried out at atmospheric pressure. Furthermore, the first internal coating takes place without an activation process directly after a production process of the hollow body, in which the hollow body is formed with the supply of heat.

Abstract: A method for coating a float glass strip following its production process, the float glass strip being transported out of a float glass bath by a conveyor device in which the float glass strip cools and/or is cooled, a coating occurring in at least two coating devices arranged successively along the conveyor device, a coating being performed by each of the coating devices at a location at which the temperature of the float glass strip is in a temperature range that is different from the temperature ranges of the float glass strip in the area of the other coating devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hot melt adhesive, comprising at least one polysaccharide ester gained by a reaction of a polysaccharide with an imidazolide in melted imidazole. The invention relates, further, to a process for producing the hot melt adhesive, in which imidazole is melted, and an acid chloride and/or an acid anhydride and/or a lactone is reacted in and with the melted imidazole to form an imidazolide, whereby at least one polysaccharide is added to the melted imidazole, whereby the polysaccharide is reacted with the imidazolide to form a polysaccharide ester.

Abstract: The invention describes novel polymer-functionalized carbon nanotubes. These comprise a carbon nanotube, a first polymer that is adsorbed on the outer surface of a carbon nanotube and comprises amino groups, and a second polymer covalently bonded to the first polymer. The bond between the second polymer and the first polymer is formed by the reaction of amino groups from the first polymer with groups from the second polymer that are reactive with respect to amino groups. The invention further relates to a method for the production thereof, wherein carbon nanotubes are provided in an aqueous solution of a first polymer comprising amino groups and then a solution of a second polymer comprising groups that are reactive with respect to amino groups is added. The invention also relates to the use of the carbon nanotubes in dispersions, polymers and surface coatings.

Abstract: A coating process using a plasma beam is provided, wherein the coating contains nanozeolites loaded with dye.

Abstract: A method for coating a substrate is provided in that a plasma jet is produced from a working gas, at least one precursor material is fed to the working gas and/or the plasma jet and is reacted in the plasma jet and at least one reaction product of at least one of the precursors is deposited on at least one surface of the substrate and/or on at least one layer arranged on the surface. At least one of the deposited layers improve the optical transmission properties of the substrate.
